Getting Started
Installing and Charging the Battery
Your phone is equipped with a Lithium Ion (Li-ion) battery. It allows
you to recharge your battery before it is fully drained. When the
battery is weak and only a few minutes of talk time remain, a warning
tone sounds and a message repeats at regular intervals on the
display. If this happens, the display dims to conserve the remaining
battery power. When the battery level becomes too low, the phone
automatically turns off.
Be sure to watch your phone’s battery level indicator and charge the
battery before it runs out of power. You can use the phone while the
battery is charging, but this causes the battery to charge more slowly.
Long backlight settings, searching for service, vibration mode,
playing games, camera and browser usage affect the battery’s talk
and standby times.
Important:
The battery must be fully charged before you use the phone
for the first time. Otherwise, you could damage the battery.
Important:
Using a unsupported battery may damage your phone. When
using a non-supported battery, you cannot recharge it. The handset can
be used only for the duration of the factory battery charge, if any.
